As a "Crazy Taxi" set in the Simpson's universe, this isn't bad. Just don't expect it to surpass other driving games.
The Bad: Gets really repetitive as you'll be going through the same motion again and again; less than stellar graphics
The Simpson's has been an extremely popular comedy. For the past 15 years it has gotten great ratings. Lots of companies have tried to make games with the license and most haven't brought the Simpsons world to life. This doesn't change much in this game. The plot of this game revolves around Mr. Burns buying Springfield Transportation and is now using dangerous radioactive buses to carry their unfortunate passengers. Everyone in Springfield is now working to buy Springfield Transmit.
There are four different gameplay types: Road Rage; Mission Mode; Free Roam; Head-to-Head. Road Rage is the campaign where you try to earn money by driving passengers to their destinations. This is somewhat fun. But it gets old fast as once you've nailed a good pattern, you do it over and over again. It does change things up with different objectives that are thrown in like knocking over so many objects to get an extra $1000 or hitting no traffic. But these, too, get old after several times.
You can unlock different characters and their cars. There are probably about 20-25 different characters, from Ned Flanders to Grandpa Simpson. They all have different cars, too. Like Krusty has a clown car buggy, or Proffessor Frink has a flying car. All the characters have the voices from on the show which adds to the experience and makes it seem more like Simpsons.
Mission mode is where you take various characters and they have to accomplish a certain task before the timer runs out, such as "Knock down 10 light posts before the timer runs out". But again, these are more of a hassle than fun. The head-to-head is slightly more fun in which you two players are competing to try to get to a goal of $5000, $10000, $15000. When one player picks up a passenger, the other player can still get the passenger by basically playing tag. When the opponent hits the car with the passenger, he steals the passenger. This can make the multiplayer hectic and enjoyable, which is a nice change of pace from the campaign. The graphics are ok. They would have looked much better if everything was cel-shaded. But instead there are slightly sloppy 3D graphics. It doesn't ruin much of the experience though, so it makes no big deal.
Gameplay: A campaign that runs out of fuel fast, and decent multiplayer.
Graphics: No cel-shaded graphics, but still not terrible.
Sound: The authentic voice-acting adds to the experience tremendously.
Value: Maybe 10 hours can be squeezed out of the campaign and missions. The only real reason to go back to this game at all would be the multiplayer.
Final Words/Tilt: A decent game that Crazy Taxi and Simpson fans will enjoy for a little while.
